Reduce waste at this year’s cleanup by bringing along your own wagons and buckets, work gloves, and reusable water bottle. Many of our sites strive to be “zero waste” this year and you can help them!
We collect valuable data from all of our cleanup sites during Coastal Cleanup Day! This data helps us understand how we can better prevent litter. Instead of using paper data cards, download Ocean Conservancy’s new mobile data collection app, Clean Swell! Available on iPhone and Android devices!

Please bring wagons to help transport trash from where you find it back to the dumpster. Wear closed toed shoes, long pants and long sleeves. Bring your reusable water bottle. Drinking water and healthy snacks will be provided. Did we mention, please bring wagons!

In 2017, I Love A Clean San Diego organized 6,686 volunteers at 105 coastal and inland cleanup sites, where 128,168 pounds of litter were removed from San Diego County. Our volunteers channeled their appreciation for San Diego’s environment into action to protect it. Join us this year and be a part of this international event!
